Some of these Jordan heads don't mess with suede, don't buy other brands, are pretty much teenage boys when it comes to suede.

I understand just wanting the original build, and that there is confusion and inconsistency between suede, nubuck, durabuck, etc., but I'll definitely take decent suede over satin or patent plasticky fake leather any day of the week.

I used to scoff at people who said this.
But I’m kind of getting there myself.
Breds, Chicagos, Royals and Shadows are all I really need.
…everything else is excess icing on the cake.

The satin breds aren’t “bad” in hand but there’s just something off about them. The satin feels cheap when you know the shoe should be leather. They feel like a pair of variants.

the reaimagined royals look better in the official pics than expected considering the black looks like nubuck but I don't feel the need to have these and I certainly don't need any satin, patent leather, flyknit, etc Jordan 1's
I don't think the 2017 release was that great either
1985 Jordan 1's > everything
I'll gladly pay the extra $20 for something a little more substantial...pass me the lube

I'm often scratching my head at some of the comments.
All these sneakers that come in suede. It's not like these are a white or off white suede either.

I still never understood why they did the '01s with that nubuck or durabuck swoosh

Between that and the shape I think I'm good on 01s at this point.
I used to see them as Grails

I love my Flyknit 1s and don't mind a good suede or interesting spin on the colorway (as long as it's an OG-style colorblocking), but MAN, if they rolled out the 85 cut for every OG colorway and made them widely available, I would buy every damn one without question and they can keep all the funkiness and collaborations. Instead they're going to trickle out every obscure colorway and make them hard to get and release 10 other variations of Breds/Royals/Chicagos before we get there. And there will probably be leadership changes and they'll cancel the 85 program and start some new thing before we actually get what we want.

Any size 12 heads looking for 2016 banned and Nigel’s for under market value?
Looking to move some at a great price.
